So you have no first hand knowledge? Your over 50% number at the meadowlands is based on what Elite players do on t-breds? I was hoping for facts. Not conjecure. . Elite CAWs aren't at the meadowlands. Also, there has never been publicly accessing information made available that shows the average is over 50%. If you have that source please share.
There is FAR LESS public money bet on harness racing than t-breds. Easily possible that the CAW players make up a larger percentage of the pools in harness racing. The only real money left betting harness racing is insiders (trainers/drivers/owners) and CAW. THERE IS NO PUBLIC.
"All of us at The Meadowlands are grateful to be able to say business is up over last year,” said Big M Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Jason Settlemoir. “Unfortunately the month of June has not been so great. For the 4th card in a row the Meadowlands failed to reach $3 million in total handle."All-source handle on the 14-race card totaled $2,512,302.By contrast the all source handle on the 13-race Woodbine Mohawk card was $4,578,179Meadowlands media relations
Quality races at Woodbine and Amateur shit at Meadowlands.
Only Jeff Gural put his financial ass on the line and exposed all the cheaters. a great new amusement park where the once proud Meadowlands once stood.
I truly wish there wasn’t so much negativity regarding harness racing. However the so called leaders of the sport have no one to blame but themselves. Similar to baseball where everyone from the MLB commissioner down knew for decades about steroid use but did almost nothing. In harness racing everyone from the USTA down saw the drugs taking over. The drivers, trainers, grooms everyone knew but very few said a thing. Only Jeff Gural put his financial ass on the line and exposed all the cheaters. And what has this gotten him…very little in return. When I was younger I could accept an occasional suspicious drive by those trying to cash bets. But this drugging epidemic was too much for me and thousands of ex-owners and fans. The sport is on life support and nothing but its demise is in the future. And for all of you Gural naysayers will eventually get what you desire…no Gural and a great new amusement park where the once proud Meadowlands once stood.
